If I am your part-time Romeo
I can't succumb the call of flesh
Venus flytrap legs spread open wide
Black widow bites my head off
Crawl in me lustful porcelain doll
Give me your hand, your crimson nails
Quite unpolite I'm sucking off your fingerprints
Shall we be the incarnation of carnal sin?
Scarlet red Juliet simulacra
Enamored my cardboard heart
I'm just a cut-out smile, put scissors in my eyes
Black windows stained my pupils, I think I'm blind
Through the opaque glass I see you leave
You seem to dance on thin air yet so heavy
I guess the weight of time just takes its toll
I guess we're old already, we're cold and steady
There are wrinkles in the azure sky
We are but sinners singin'
The sweetest hymn to decadence
Envy's a benediction
And I must be blessed beyond words
Carnavalesque masks mere copycats of you
Parade the street mocking my grief
And when the neophyte draws blood
The harlot faints a smile
Tragicomic grins came out of style
Femme fatale orgasms such haunting scenes
Diva holds the switchblade upside down
Lolita ain't sixteen no more
I guess the weight of time just takes its toll
I guess I painted you naked on my cranial walls
Sit in a corner and pull strings from underneath
I feel your scent running beneath my skin
We are but sinners singin'
The sweetest hymn to decadence
Envy's a benediction
And I must be blessed beyond words
Carnavalesque masks mere copycats of you
Parade the street mocking my grief
And when the neophyte draws blood
The harlot faints a smile
Drape yourself in red velvet
Just for this act tongue the candles
Reveal your bare elbows to an empty ballroom
The single hand clapping echoes sadly
I take a bite oh so bitter
A splinter in your toe had you collapse
The crowd stood up and left swiftly
Curtain.
We are but sinners singin'
The sweetest hymn to decadence
Envy's a benediction
And I must be blessed beyond words
Carnavalesque masks mere copycats of you
Parade the street mocking my grief
And when the neophyte draws blood
The harlot faints a smile
The stars fade out and leave slowly
Let's hide and seek under these sheets
Muffled pillow talks to end the night
I can't promise to kiss and tell.
Curtain.

"Once when I was young and true, someone left me sad. Broke my brittle heart in two, and that is very bad. Love is for unlucky folk, love is but a curse. Once there was a heart I broke, and that I think it worse." ~ D. Parker
